Santhosam

நம்பனை ஆதியை நான்மறை ஓதியைச்
செம்பொன்னின் உள்ளே திகழ்க்கின்ற சோதியை
அன்பினை ஆக்கி, அருத்தி ஒடுங்கிப் போய்க்
கொம்பு ஏறிக் கும்பிட்டுக் கூட்டம் இட்டாரே.

பாடல் #626, மூன்றாம் தந்திரம்-9 சமாதி

Line 1
நம்பனை ஆதியை நான்மறை ஓதியைச்

Believing in that eternal entity (God) that never changes or perishes; believing in the primordial supreme entity, whom all the four vedas chant on; 


Line 2
செம்பொன்னின் உள்ளே திகழ்க்கின்ற சோதியை

The divine light (jothi) that shines inside the body which is like pure gold; which resides in all places and in all things that is quoted below as,
‘ஆதியும் அகண்ட இருளும் அதன் தொணியும் அருட் பெரும் ஜோதி’ 
There is no difference between the outer and the inner essence; that which dwells in the universe also dwells within this body. 


Line 3 and 4
அன்பினை ஆக்கி, அருத்தி ஒடுங்கிப் போய்க்
கொம்பு ஏறிக் கும்பிட்டுக் கூட்டம் இட்டாரே.

With devotion towards the Divine, the miraculous light within should be raised  through the central channel (Nadi) upwards. 
This divine light that once resided at the crown has now descended downwards to the root centre (mooladharam) , in order to procreate and expand its kind. 


The Supreme Goddess, Parameswari, who resides in Kailash, once descended to the earthly realm out of anger towards Lord Shiva. Because of this descent, she is known as Parvati — the daughter of the mountain. Later, in order to return to Kailash, she undertakes intense penance (dhavam). This story symbolizes the truth that the Kundalini energy, which descended down to the Mooladhara (root chakra), must rise again to its original abode at the Sahasrara (crown chakra) through the Sushumna Nadi and merge with Shivam, the Supreme Consciousness. This union can be attained only through Yogam (spiritual practice). 


It is through Yoga that a human who has lost their true self can regain their true state (Thannilai). In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna instructs Arjuna to become a Yogi through which he can realise his own self (samadhi state).


Therefore the Divine light within oneself that descends down to procreate should be risen above to its original state at the crown chakra through yogic practice and pure devotion in order to discover oneself and to merge with the Supreme.
